Need a call to get the folder "My Documents"

[Franky]

I know about GetModuleFileName but what I need is a similar call to get the
folder "My Documents"

Is there such a thing?





Thanks

Yes, check the docs for

ShGetFolderPath()

passing it the CSIDL_PERSONAL

flag.

Or, if you're using the .NET framework, call

System::Environment::GetFolderPath(System::Environment::SpecialFolder::MyDocuments)

I should have been explicit. I forget that C++ can be managed. My app is
not.
